8. Before you start

Remove the sound bar and all accessories from the package and remove the plastic films. Verify that you have received all items listed.

8.1 Positioning

The ideal position for your sound bar is centrally under your TV set. You can place the sound bar on a piece of furniture or mount it to the wall.

8.1.1 Wall-mounting (Figure C)

Make sure that you use suitable wall-mounting material.

Tools/mounting material needed (not included in the package):

  • Drill (depending on the wall)
  • 4 screws and possibly 4 rawlplugs (depending on the wall) to fix to the wall. Please note that the screws must be suitable for the weight of the sound bar. If the screws and rawlplugs provided are not suitable for your specific circumstances, make sure that the dimensions of the screw head and shaft correspond to those provided in order to guarantee safe mounting.
    Phillips screwdriver and possibly other screwdrivers, spirit level, pencil

Before drilling, make sure there are no water or gas pipes or electricity cables in the wall. If necessary, get an expert to mount the device on the wall.

  • Glue 2 of the device feet supplied to each wall mount. Please see Diagram C for how to position the glue spots.
  • Now place the sound bar down onto an even surface onto the device feet glued onto the wall mounts, so that the two wall mounts are inside the device feet. (6) of the sound bar. In order to achieve maximum stability, ensure the distance between the two wall mounts is as great as possible.
  • Now measure the distance between the wall mounts and transfer this to the wall on which you wish to affix the wall mounts.
  • Now hold the wall mounts at the height you want and mark the drill holes.
  • Drill 2 holes for each wall mount. If you are using the rawlplugs supplied, use an 8mm drill bit.
  • Insert the rawlplugs into the drilled holes.
  • Secure the wall mounts into place with 2 screws each.
  • Connect all the cables you are using to the connections on the sound bar.
  • Place the sound bar down onto the wall mounts as you did when measuring the distance.
  • Then, check that the sound bar is seated securely on the wall mounts on both sides.

8.2 Fitting the batteries into the remote control

Open the battery compartment (28) on the back of the remote control by sliding the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow and removing it. Insert the batteries (2 AAA-type batteries) with the correct polarity (+ and -). The correct polarity is labelled on the batteries and inside the battery compartment (28).

Now start playback on the connected device and control using the remote control. See the user manual for the playback device.

9.3.1 "HDMI ARC" mode

SILVERCREST SSBD 50 B1 - "HDMI ARC" mode - 1

HDMI (ARC Audio Return Channel) is an extension to the conventional HDMI connection which allows ARC channel audio signals to be transmitted in both directions. In order to use this functionality, all the components used must be ARC-compliant.

Most modern TV sets, games consoles and digital receivers have an ARC output. Please refer to the user manual for the device to be connected. If the audio transmission does not work, make sure that the HDMI cable and the connection on the source device are ARC-compliant. It is possible that only specific connections on the source device are ARC-compliant.

How to connect the sound bar to a TV set is described below:

  • Using an HDMI(ARC)-compliant cable (E, supplied), connect the HDMI(ARC) jack (9) on the sound bar to an HDMI(ARC) output on the TV set. Set the connected device to "PCM Stereo", "Stereo 2.0" or "Dolby Digital".
  • Switch the sound bar on using the standby button (2, 36).
  • Press the "INPUT" button (18) to select the HDMI(ARC) input on the sound bar.
  • Switch the TV set on, the sound playback will start within a few seconds.

SILVERCREST SSBD 50 B1 - "HDMI ARC" mode - 2

If your TV set supports the CEC protocol, the sound bar can be switched on and off using the TV remote control. If this is the case, the volume can also be controlled via the TV remote control. See the user manual for the TV set.

9.3.2 "OPTICAL" mode

Use this operating mode to play music from the optical digital input (8) for example from a TV on your sound bar (A). The TV must have an optical digital output. Use an optical cable (Toslink cable) to make the connection. Proceed as follows:
